Acrobat
Don't believe what you hear, don't believe what you seeIf you just close your eyes you can feel the enemy.When I first met you girl, you had fire in your soul.What happened t'your face of melting snowNow it looks like this!And you can swallow or you can spitYou can throw it up, or choke on itAnd you can dream, so dream out loudYou know that your time is coming roundSo don't let the bastards grind you down.
No, nothing makes sense, nothing seems to fit.I know you'd hit out if you only knew who to hit.And I'd join the movementIf there was one I could believe inYeah, I'd break bread and wineIf there was a church I could receive in.'Cause I need it now.To take the cupTo fill it up, to drink it slow.I can't let you go.
And I must be an acrobatTo talk like this and act like that.And you can dream, so dream out loudAnd don't let the bastards grind you down.
What are we going to do now it's all been said?No new ideas in the house, and every book's been read.
And I must be an acrobatTo talk like this and act like that.And you can dream, so dream out loudAnd you can find your own way out.And you can build, and I can willAnd you can call, I can't wait untilYou can stash and you can seizeIn dreams begin responsibilitiesAnd I can love, and I can loveAnd I know that the tide is turning 'roundSo don't let the bastards grind you down.
